Abstract
A system includes a wearable device, a second device remote from and in communication with the wearable device, a processor configured to generate a control signal representative of an event occurring in an environment related to the wearable device and/or the second device, and a haptic output device configured to provide haptic feedback based on the generated control signal.
Claims19
A system comprising:
- a wearable device;
- a second device remote from and in communication with the wearable device;
- a processor configured to generate a control signal representative of an event occurring in an environment related to the wearable device and/or the second device;
- and
- a haptic output device configured to provide haptic feedback based on the generated control signal.
A method of providing a haptic effect in an augmented reality space, the method comprising:
- generating the augmented reality space coincident with a physical space;
- recognizing a physical object in the physical space and augmenting the physical object with a virtual object in the augmented reality space;
- determining an event associated with the augmented reality space;
- and
- generating a control signal based on the event,
- wherein a first wearable device includes a haptic output device that is configured to render the haptic effect according to the control signal.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to provide haptic effects with power management on a mobile device, the instructions comprising:
- generating an augmented reality space coincident with a physical space,
- recognizing physical object in the physical space and augmenting the physical object with a virtual object in the augmented reality space,
- determining an event associated with the augmented reality space, and
- generating a control signal based on the event,
- wherein a first wearable device includes a haptic output device that is configured to render the haptic effect according to the control signal.
A system comprising:
- an augmented reality device configured to generate an augmented reality space comprising an augmented reality space and a physical space, the augmented reality device comprising a processor configured to
- generate the augmented reality space coincident with the physical space,
- recognize a physical object in the physical space and augment the physical object with the virtual object in the augmented reality space,
- determine an event associated with the augmented reality space, and
- generate a control signal based on the event;
- and
- a first wearable device that is communicatively coupled to the augmented reality device, wherein the first wearable device includes a haptic output device that is configured to render the haptic effect according to the control signal.
